Cooking, Foods, Herbs, and Fun
From cake decorating and food preservation to gourmet treats for your dog, CVCC offers a cooking class for a wide variety of interests.
Beginning Cake Decorating
We will start with the most basic of cakes and work our way up to a simple anti-gravity cake. Oh yes!! You can do it! The cost of the class includes a kit which you will receive on the first night of class. You will be set to start your journey to cake decorating. We will have fun, fellowship, and eat lots of cake!
Food Preservation
This three-day class covers food preservation by canning and dehydration. Topics will include pressure and water bath canning and food preservation by dehydration. Canning times, supplies, recipes, and types of foods that can be canned and dehydrated will be discussed along with demonstrations on food preparation.
Intro to Fondant, Gum Paste, and Gum Paste Flowers
Students will learn and develop skills working with fondant and gumpaste. Skills learned will include: how to cover a cake with fondant, make embossed fondant cupcakes toppers, and how to paint on fondant. We will then start out making simple flowers such as the calla lily, carnation, daisy, and rose, as well as the calax and leaves. Later in the course, we will progress into more advanced gumpaste floral techniques such as the Peony, succulents, and more. This course required attention to detail but the results will leave you beautiful, life-like looking floral creations that will make any cake look amazing!
